Bliss, nearly

I am sitting at a picnic table behind our house, while my little siblings eat lunch nearby and a woodpecker overhead drops bits of bark on my keyboard. My routine at home has come to include breakfast with Mom, going running down sidewalks lined with roses and peonies, and a couple hours reading the Washington Times, Post, CNN, BBC, friends' blogs, and occasionally other interesting folks like Al Mohler and George Grant. The only non-blissful part of the routine is that I miss all you PHC folks and other friends scattered across the country.

Speaking of news sources, a TIME article this morning introduced me to Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia edited by anyone who cares to. Interestingly, what seems like a prime target for pranksters (hey, you don't even have to be a hacker) generally avoids that sort of trouble because, as the article says, "the geeks care more."

So, to test its accuracy, I ran a Wikipedia search on Patrick Henry College. The article is surprisingly current. But I had to laugh when I reached the "alumni" section, which lists three: Jed Haven, Dan Taylor, and (drumroll please) Justin Knepper. (Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, Knepper is a Soft Drink Reviewer.)

I can see the footnote now: Justin Knepper, Soft Drink Reviewer. "Patrick Henry College." Wikipedia.org (1 June 2005).

Dr. Sanders would not approve.
